Subject: A question about Kid Rock

Written By: Harmonica on 07/22/04 at 9:36 pm

Is he the only guy to do Rap, Country and Rock n roll?  I know of people that have done both Rock n roll and country but a few that have done Rock n roll and rap, but all three?  I believe Kid Rock is the only one to do all three, and I suppose you could add in gospel if you consider"Önly God Knows Why" to be gospel. that'd make 4.

I wouldn't consider "Only God Knows Why" to be gospel in any way.  Read the lyrics and you'll see what I mean ;)

As for rap, country & rock n roll - if he's not the ONLY artist to do all three, I am sure he is one of very few.  I don't care what anyone thinks (I know a lot of people here don't like him), I really like Kid Rock.  I think he's extremely talented & seems like a good person "in real life". :)

Saying that kid rock has done Rock and Roll is like saying New Kids On The Block belong in the Rock and Roll Hall Of Fame.....he's a wanna be at best :P

I don't see how you can say this...just because YOU don't like him doesn't mean he's not talented
You're absolutely right.....It's JUST my opinion. I respect yours and anybody else who likes him....I just happen to think he's not that great....especially after he did that promo for VH1...where he sat on top of a chimney, dressed as Santa and farted down it ::)

First of all, how you can compare Kid Rock to NKOTB is beyond me.  They are NOTHING alike.  Second of all, you claim Kid Rock is a "wannabe"?  What exactly is he trying to be?  ???

What does that have to do with the kind of music Kid Rock plays?  Or his talent for that matter?  I'm sure Kid Rock didn't write that promo, somebody else did & he merely acted it out.  I happen to think "toilet humour" is funny, does that make me a bad person? ::)

As I said before...It's JUST my opinion....AND I also said that I respect tohers as well.It's that simple....sorry if I offended.

Well, if he had to go so far as to call himself "Kid Rock", thats already the sign of a lightweight as far as Rock 'n' Roll is concerned.

I do have to say that some of his country stuff was OK, though. 

But he should be sent to jail (or at least given an Atomic Wedgie  :o ) for his rendition of "Feel Like makin' Love".  Pure butchery.

I suspect it depends on where you live.  Where I am you do not hear Pink Floyd on the air all that much.  :-\\

No problem.

Just be prepared to listen to hip-hop and 80's music all day long, 'cause that's about all they play here.

Anger?  Are you trying to insinuate I was ANGRY when I replied to your post?  Whatever, man ::)

Not attacking you here Mark but, you have to realize that this thread was not created to ask whether or not Kid Rock was a "real" musician or not. It was just some fans who wanted to talk about what category his music fell into.

It's one thing to tell people that you don't like a certain musician, but it's another when you talk about how much he sucks to people that actually like him.

When you go into a topic bashing the artist in question, you have to expect a little flack ;)

Know what I mean? :)

Like in the 80s boards. When someone asked "What was our favourite LL Cool J song". And you posted "None, all Rap sucks". I just think that responses like that are a little uncalled for. Everyone here respects everyone elses opinion, but I think there is a place for everything, and that wasn't it.
